Nicolet iN10 MX Infrared Microscope features

The integrated design of the Nicolet iN10 MX Infrared Microscope allows for the analysis of samples down to 10 microns with the onboard spectrometer. The standard, room-temperature DTGS detector eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen when examining samples down to 50 microns. With the MCT-A detector, the ultra-fast mapping can collect 10 spectra per second to cover more area fast even without the imaging detector. Other key features include:

Spatial resolution better than 10 microns
Built-in intelligence minimizes the learning process, automates instrument validation, and provides chemical, physical, and distribution information
All the benefits and options of the Nicolet iN10 Infrared Microscope plus ultra-fast, powerful imaging
Direct contact sampling with MicroTip ATR Sensitivity enhancement by liquid nitrogen-cooled detector
Best viewing comfort with dual monitor operation
Enhanced viewing with motorized visible polarizer

Nicolet iN10 MX Infrared Imaging Microscope features

The Nicolet iN10 MX Infrared Imaging Microscope adds the power of a 16-element array, allowing up to 160 spectra per second to be collected at either 25 or 6.25 micron spatial resolution. This can enable coverage of a 5 mm x 5mm area in 5 minutes.

Ultra-fast MX imaging detector (15 times faster for equal spatial resolution than cooled MCT option)
Three detector options: DTGS, MCT-A, and the 16-element MCT array
